On May 8, we honor the birth of Harry S. Truman, America’s 33rd President, and steadfast leader during one of the most pivotal eras in world history.
From humble beginnings in Missouri to decisions that shaped the modern world, Truman led with resolve, integrity, and the courage to face history head-on.
Harry S. Truman: A Steady Hand
History called him in war’s final flame,
A plainspoken man, not chasing fame.
Rising from modest Missouri land,
Resolute leader with a steady hand.
Yearning for peace, yet ready to stand.
Signed off on choices both heavy and grave,
Trials of nations, he had to brave.
Rebuilt the world with Marshall’s plan,
United the West, drew freedom’s span.
Made the tough calls, no shirking the strain,
A man who believed truth must remain.
Never forgot that the buck stopped with him.
